Hvar’s tiniest village, Vrboska, is a charmer: stone houses, arched bridges and boats bobbing in narrow canals have earned it the nickname “Little Venice”. Aminess Senses Resort sits just along the seafront, framed by untouched pine forest and overlooking jewel-toned water.

Follow the coastal path to Vrboska’s cafés, wine bars and marina, plan a day trip to chic Hvar Town, or simply stay put between the resort’s pool, spa and nearby pebbled beach. It’s a relaxed, scenic base for exploring one of Croatia’s most loved islands.

• 2km from Vrboska resort centre
• 11km from the ferry port on Hvar Island

Hvar Island (Vrboska), Split and Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

You’re well covered for food and drinks here, with a main buffet and a slick line-up of bars and a beachside restaurant.

Main Restaurant – Poolside buffet restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with show cooking and international favourites alongside Croatian classics. Highchairs are available and beachwear is discouraged at dinner.

Soline Beach Restaurant – À la carte spot right by the beach, open for lunch and dinner in season, showcasing international, Italian and local Dalmatian dishes – ideal for a laid-back sunset meal.

Lobby Bar – A sociable all-day bar in the main building (typically 10:00–00:00) for coffees, apéritifs and nightcaps.

Pool Bar & Snack Bar – Drinks and light bites by the water, perfect for lazy days on a lounger.

Soline Beach Bar – Seasonal beach bar for cold beers, cocktails and soft drinks between swims.

A smart-casual dress code may apply in some venues, and opening dates, times, reservations and supplements can vary by season and board arrangement.

The resort’s outdoor freshwater pool is the hub of daytime life, edged by a broad sunbathing terrace with loungers and parasols. It’s heated in the main season (typically mid-April to mid-November), which makes shoulder-season dips much more inviting.

Just steps away, a classic Croatian pebbled beach meets clear, calm water that’s ideal for a cooling swim or a paddle. With pine trees behind you and that glittering Adriatic in front, it feels wonderfully serene.

Recharge at the compact but well-equipped wellness area, or keep your step count high with sports courts and coastal walks.
